My mothers side is Italian, we go to our grandparents farm and have a family dinner every Sunday.We get Italian pasta with home made sauce, with a nice salad with home made vinegar :) it's so lovely.And then there's sometimes freshly cooked chickens from their farm! And the home made meatballs Made from freshly killed goat and sheep for the pasta

That's so cool. Home made to the extreme, I bet the quality is insuperable. I bet you look forward to Sunday every week.

I love pasta, and there are really no pasta recipes that I dislike. My favorites are penne arrabiata, spaghetti bolognese, and pasta with lemon cream sauce. However, I do have to order these in a restaurant, since I can not make these myself well. My sauces turn out runny or bitter, and often have no taste at all; I have tried using both fresh herbs as well as packaged mixes, to no avail. Are there any good blogs or cookbooks for pasta recipes that are straightforward and basic to follow?

Hmm... maybe cooking the condiments in a bit of olive oil could help to free a bit more its flavour before mixing it with the sauce? Not sure. I know I tend to condiment even the boiling pasta. Might just be mind suggestion but adding garlic and a bit of chicken stock makes pasta taste better. Then I use the same garlic on the sauce. I cannot eat garlic raw by itself but I love the taste it leaves on food.

For website with Recipes. I have been watching 'Huey's Kitchen' so I want to pick his recipes from his website. I think it is easy to understand and browse. It just have some many recipes though.I'll link to the Pastas (i didn't know how to filter the rice or noodles out)[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
